Answered a promptHow did you become a bookworm?

Beautiful Ugly is the first Alice Feeney book I've picked up, and also the first thriller I've read in a while—and it was a solid reentry into the genre. The main character, Grady, is profoundly unlikeable in that delicious “love to hate” way that makes the story more gripping.
The book is packed with twists and turns—some I anticipated, others genuinely caught me off guard—and that balance kept me turning the pages. While it's not necessarily aiming for something deep or life-changing, it's still a thoughtful and highly entertaining read.
